29th July, 2026: Eunomia.

OK … bloody Amazon … !

I’ve got another box of diet colas on order: which was supposed to be delivered, yesterday.

And is now coming today, for some reason.

Why?

I don’t know: but I’ve sent off an annoyed email … again … !

Oh … and I’ve got an earworm!

BA Robertson’s “Knocked it Off”.

Why … ?

I don’t know.

But if I get a chance, I’ll put something on repeat to get rid of it!

*        Hello, Mum!

†        Oh, I know, Debbi, I know!   Did I ever mention I, Robot?   The Will Smith film, that is?   It had very little to do with the short story collection, beyond lifting a couple of scenes, and names.   It’s competently done piece: but not one I’d’ve called I, Robot!   Bicentennial Man, and Jackson’s Lord of the Rings were far better efforts: you could look at most of them, and justify most of what was on screen.

        Oh, apparently, Tom Chadbon has died: Duggan from City of Death.
